One more thing Jeffrey, Joy is back from vacation on Friday. I hear she always is the first to sign up for sponge bath duty. I hope you are out of there by then.

Jeffrey, I poke my nose in to "lurk" at the Diner once in a while, just to see what's going on with some of the more interesting characters over there. I have always admired your fortitude. I often wonder if I would have it in me to carry on as you do. You are an inspiration to anyone that has to travel a less than smooth road.
As they say on Quo'noS, "chaq Qapla' ghaj lutebjaj ghoS".
Jeffrey,
So sorry to hear about the new setback - but knowing you, it will be only that, a setback, from which you will give the nurses all kinds of grief, and as you wrote:
Story of my life. I keep getting up one more time than I I get knocked down and throw dirt in Murphy's face. I'm just an old arogant Indian who doesn't have the sense to quit.
You have come back from other bumps in the road, and I fully expect you'll continue messing with Mr. Murphy's plans and NOT bother quitting!
Blessings and prayers for your PT and other continuing recovery,
Jim in Cape G.
If you care to send a get well card to Jeff he will be in the hospital for several days. Maybe a week.

Jeff, I've been around just about 3 years and always appreciated that you are a "contributor" in many ways...moderator, commenter, helpful advisor. Always positive and helpful, most appreciated!
I hope and pray that you do very well in meeting the newest challenge. If anyone can, it will be you.
Best wishes in all things.

There are a lot of people pulling and praying for you and i'm one of them. You have been a real help to a lot of us here and I hope our thoughts and prayers can in some small way return the favor.

Jeffrey.
Major medical procedures are hell on Earth to have to endure. But it's also all that other stuff you also have to endure as after effects, that's the real devil in it all.
You will be in the prayers of many, many people & in the thoughts of many others.
All the very best to you, Jeffrey.
Dusty.
Those wanting to contact me, Galaxy has my phone number here. I'm sure if you ask nicely he'll give it to you. You can call me but I can't call you.
Sorry to hear about your new troubles.
Hope you can get fitted before too long.
Will be thiinking of you in my prayers.

It's an endearing, but also a reassuring, quality you have about you, Jeffrey. It makes the rest of us mere mortals hope that if you can make it through all the trials thrown your way in recent years, we should all be able to square up a bit and soldier on.
My hat is lifted off for you, Jeff. Many happy mornings to you still. God bless.

Garry,
Thanks. If I could just stay on my diet, I'd be good. That's much less of a challenge than what Jeffrey is going through. It's Jeff's thread, but I thought it important that we remember when it comes to health, it can happen to any of us, so it's important to consider how we'd expect others to pull for us if we found ourselves similarly situated.
Now, if I'd only made those aisles a little wider....

mikeGTWJeff I know you'll bounce back better then ever From everything you've gone thru and done and besides someone has to keep your nephew in line and the tablet is an Asus smart pad color is blue is the camera any good ??
Morning Jeff,
Well you made it through your first night, so that is the first step. Everything else will come that same way, one step at a time, so be patient with yourself.
Glad to hear you got a Tablet, that was a real swell gift and much handier for you right now. Besides you'll be able to take pictures of those Southern Belle Nurses and maybe even share them with us................the pictures that is. Lol
I hope each moment of every day goes better for you as you gain your strength back and heal up getting ready for those bionic components.
God Bless, Good Buddy.

You already know my feelings on the subject of you and your trials and tribulations.{I hope}.
I still have a candle lit for you to maybe help in any way it can. Instead of eminating *good healing light* towards you, maybe this time it will *draw the darkness* in your life away from you!
I was just thinking of generating such a post, but while I was napping, Garry beat me to it, I see.
Seems to me, for every two steps you take backwards, *you* take three steps forward!
PT is likely to be a long process for you this time, having to learn to walk all over again.
And you know I take pain killers, the serious stuff, often doesn't do much for me either, but is often better than nothing.
But, I know, knowing you, you will survive, strive for better, and take those three steps forward sooner than later.....
AS Jimmy Dean says:
I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.
now, don't go giving the *pretty nurses* to much of a hassle!
The best of care to you,

Pain killers don't work with me they make dizzy.
You have love and support from everyone. I believe that's the real medicine for what you're going through.

This is a tough one for you to face; but in the short year or so that I've been on the forums I've learned that you're one of the most resilient & upbeat people I've ever encountered. Also an incredibly nice guy who's always willing to share his knowledge and his sense of humor with others. When I see your name pop up on here, I always feel good and I always enjoy reading what you've got to say.
So hang in there. We're all pulling for you.
